2nd 3 (2) |
11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Losing run up to 15, but has been running well in defeat as when beaten less than a length into third of ten at Windsor (5f, good) last month; races off the same mark, but he is another for whom this trip looks sharp enough. |
100/30 |
|
3rd 7 (8) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
His last win was off 15lb higher but that was on AW in April 2024 and he has mixed record in four runs this year; ran well at Kempton (6f) in March but he was remote when third at Leicester last time and needs to bounce back again after that disappointing effort. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 2 (5) |
13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Losing turf run goes back four years and he wasn't particularly convincing on grass in the middle months of 2025; however, he is 11lb lower than the latest attempt and his recent AW run at Kempton was quite encouraging; revival on the cards with Rossa Ryan up for the first time. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Last scored in October 2024 but he's been placed on five of his last six starts; had Supreme King, Rare Change and Under The Twilight behind when third of nine on his comeback at Windsor (6f, soft) a fortnight ago; possibilities from the same mark. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 3 (2) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Five-time winner after 32 starts so he's exposed, but he was in a good vein of form when last seen in the spring, and he won't mind what the weather does. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 3 (7) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |

Twice a runner-up over 6f this winter, including here, but he raced too freely in one 7f run and he still has to prove he needs this far. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

C&D winner; runner-up on this card 12 months ago; having a solid campaign but surprising if he was up to winning. |
33/1 |
|
9th 10 (8) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
8yo who was knocking on the door prior to making all in fine style at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 12 days ago; had just three rivals to beat last time and he's 4lb higher in a tougher race today, but is clearly in good heart and is a two-time winner at Thirsk; could go well. |
11/1 |
|
1st 2 (2) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Back in form with three placed efforts this summer; the latest one took his C&D record to 1113; this front-running 8yo remains just 1lb above last winning mark; solid chance. |

4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
On a long losing run; ran on late for fourth at Redcar 13 days ago but the wait for a first AW success looks set to continue. |
13/2 |
|
4th 4 (10) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Winless since 2024 but he comes here in good nick, not seen to ideal effect when ninth of 12 in 6f Southwell AW handicap last month when racing wide; of some interest off a 3lb lower mark with yard going very well. |
6/1 |
|
9th 6 (12) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Found the drop to 5f against him last time (Tapeta), following a slow start, in a Newcastle handicap in which the leaders didn't come back; become very hit and miss but a case could be made dropped 2lb. |

9st 12lb |
Yet to score this term but this reliable sort comes here on the back of a good fifth of 12 in 6f Hamilton handicap 24 days ago; ought to be in the shake-up. |
7/1 |
|
5th 3 (9) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Dual winner over 6f (good/good to soft), the most recent coming at Doncaster last summer off a 3lb lower mark; fifth in the Ayr Bronze Cup in September (soft) and he ran well when second of 17 there last month; has to be respected. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 1 (14) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Fifth over C&D (soft) in Bronze Cup in September and filled same position in 19-runner Doncaster handicap (6f, good to soft) on reappearance in March; slightly disappointing on good to firm ground last time but conditions ought to be suitable for him today; one to consider. |

10th 7 (6) |
23rd Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Five AW wins include two on this course (at 6f; has won over 7f) but he's been going through a quieter spell of late; others more likely. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 4 (9) |
5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
He needs to improve upon his last few showings and was held in fifth over C&D most recently; however, this two-time course winner is 6lb lower than when second at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) in March and is not written off. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Well handicapped and loves slow ground; in better form than his formfigures suggest but the worry is his tendency to blow the start. |
7/1 |
|
6th 3 (5) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
1lb below his last winning mark but usually misses the break and has finished out of the frame in all five starts this year; rain would help. |
10/1 |
|
5th 5 (6) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Can blow the start but he won two C&D handicaps in late 2025 and is well treated on that form; trainer has won the last two renewals of this race; high on the list. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Sole win came in a four-runner Ascot novice (7f, soft) as a 2yo and has only made the frame twice in 12 starts in handicaps, but soft ground does suit him well so any further rain would be a positive; mark continues to fall and a visor is given a go; interesting. |
14/1 |
|
5th 1 (7) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win in 7f novice at Ascot as 2yo; smart handicap form there (7f, soft) last September, when a close third of 12 in a much better race than this under Billy Loughnane, who rides him for the first time in 2026; not yet recaptured form for this yard but he's dropped right down the weights and this is his best chance of the year; cheekpieces refitted. |

4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Two 7f AW wins last winter, both in fine style, but he has found it tougher going in good company since; pleasing return from a nine-week break when fourth at Southwell 19 days ago and the third has come out and won well since; drops in class and should go well. |
7/2 |
|
4th 10 (2) |
16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |

Impressed with two C&D wins during the winter and could leave subsequent struggles behind back on this surface; shouldn't be handicapped out of it. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |

Two impressive 7f wins on AW this winter; not so good in deeper company back on turf last month but he drops back in trip and doesn't look impossibly treated. |

Dual sprint winner on AW; 0-5 on turf but ran well when favourite for big-field event at Thirsk (5f, good; finished 1l third) most recently; warrants respect off same mark. |

3rd 5 (9) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Only eighth of 17 when favourite at Ascot two weeks ago, although far from disgraced; still relatively lightly raced and just 1lb higher than for 5f Newcastle win in March; not ruled out. |

8th 11 (7) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Narrow Newcastle win on her penultimate start; did best of the rest behind an emphatic all-the-way winner at Yarmouth three weeks ago (5f, good); this race should be more conventional and she is more appealing than many. |

Dual winner since a visor was added in February and he ran another good race when a close fifth of 18 at York (7f, good to firm) last month; 1lb lower here and he should be in the thick of things again. |
15/2 |

5th 10 (4) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
He's done well since this visor went on and he won a big-field C&D handicap (good) in May; merely midfield here four weeks ago but the blindfold was removed late and he was stretched by 1m; in calculations back at 7f. |
8/1 |

7th 13 (10) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 3 |

Record of 4-15 overall and 2-5 since wearing visor; campaigned exclusively over shorter but the manner of his half-length success in big field at York (7f, good) last time suggests this new trip is worth exploring; enters calculations in the retained headgear. |

Underwent a second wind operation prior to her return to action in May and it appears to have done the trick, as she followed her breakthrough win at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) with a comfortable success at Ayr (5f, good); poorly drawn at York last time (wore cheekpieces); could still have a bigger run in her. |
